You view Fred as a signing to sure up our defense? Like I said, I believe his quality will help us with transitioning from defense to attack. He’s an all a rounder, not some lumbering CDM. I don’t see the problem with improving our defense with Toby. It’s not like he’s the only player we are after this summer or will cost us a bomb to sign. We can’t score goals against the “stupidest” of teams because ironically we can’t unlock teams that park the bus. Fred isn’t some magician like Silva but he is an improvement on Fellaini and Herrera. New fullbacks and a proper right winger will also help with this issue.
Also, park the bus is over used nowadays. Y’all want to see parking the bus watch the 2004 Greece team. Just because we don’t play like a side managed by Zdenek Zeman doesn’t mean we park the bus.
I mean duh, a CDM is the first line of defense. The main role is to stop the opposition's attack or push them away... Then in an attacking phase impose tempo (with good passing too of course). A good CDM will then take the defensive line higher up the pitch... @ park the bus being over used when talking about the dotard... Don't get me wrong, Fred is an excellent signing. I'm a big fan of his. He's everything any team would want in a CDM including being fast & physical. Just hate seeing his talent wasted playing for the dotard...
Edit - Here's another solid signing if this goes through.
